- Cut out pieces

- Using scissors, make small snips along outer sides of V for feathers

- Glue feet at bottom of V body

Extension Activities:

- Play a game of Twister.  It is a great way to teach colors, left/right, and following directions.
- Do some drawing with the letter.  See what all they can turn a "U" into (i.e. umbrella, cup, etc.)

- During a trip to a grocery store, ask your child to identify the different vegetables they see in the produce area.

T - Turtles & Trains: May 4-5, 2015

Books:
10 Turkeys in the Road by Brenda Reeves Sturgis
Clickety Clack by Amy & Rob Spence *
It's a Tiger! by David LaRochelle *
Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson *
Turtle Island by Kevin Sherry
Whoosh and Chug! by Sebastien Braun

Craft: Bouquet of Tulips
The children were each given four tulip heads to color and glue to craft sticks.  They were then placed into a mini-styrofoam  cup.  They could write their name or a short message for Mother's Day that was then placed on the cup.

Literacy Extensions:
- After reading Tap the Magic Tree, learn about different types of trees.  Check out a tree identification book at the library before going on a nature walk and trying to identify the different types of trees in your neighborhood.
- Play with sounds.  Both Clickety Clack and Whoosh and Chug! feature sounds made by different objects.  Make a game of coming up with the sounds made by different objects.
